Dear Parents & Community Members,
The School Board met for the final time on Monday evening and I once again extend my sincere appreciation for the support and direction this group provides for our school. During the meeting, the Board examined Operational Plans for next year in the relevant focus areas, the school budget for 2023 and endorsed the 2023 Contributions and Charges schedule. The Annual Report for 2022 will be released early next year which shall provide evidence against how the school has progressed in relation to current targets.
While teachers are in the final stages of preparing end of year reports, there has also been a significant amount of work undertaken by staff to ensure our school maintains the expected high standards . I extend my appreciation to all staff involved in the preparation of plans, financial submissions and the draft budget. This planning takes a significant amount of time, largely undertaken outside normal hours and provides the School Board with the confidence to endorse all documentation.
My sincere thanks to Vi Garrood, and Catherine Rudd, who concluded their respective terms on the School Board this year. While these people are welcome to re-nominate, their current tenure on the Board has certainly been appreciated. Vi has been the School Board Chair in 2022 and I would particularly like to acknowledge her support throughout the year. Thanks also to Megan Moyle who has decided to resign her position on the Board given that her children will no longer be at our school.
Finally, the weather was not kind to us last week – here’s to a bumper Colour Blast this week. Who can predict what our sky will do? My sincere thanks to all those involved for being so flexible in making last minute changes. Bring on the colour!
Peter Meston
Principal
